Our farmers are making greater
preparations this spring to farm,
than for years past, more corn will
be planted than usual, from The
fact that we have had u great de-
mand for IL, both for home con-
sumption, and for shipping. Men
owning small farms are learning to
plow and sow early, and fertilize
plentifully. The money is made
by farming, and not by grazing
where you are the owner of land
worth thirty or forty dollars per
acre. And no other kind of farm
ing does the poor man so much in
jury as to have some man to buy
up largo farm and pasture it, and
pocket all of the profit, doing no
other one any good. Our neigh
borhood has been managed by that
process, until poor man stands no
chance to buy home, or get land
to farm. AS soon as man is
wealthy enough to buy the second
farm, he will let the buildings go
down on purpose to keep some
man from occupying it, or get the
last comfort from it, and ifhe gives
renter any chance he will expect
him to pay him two dollars to
where he makes one, tnd take the
last COW he has for the rent, if the
crops fail. Now young man, there
is Il way to prevent this "shark"
from getting you into his clutches,
and that plan is be temperate in
all things, be honorable and be in
dustrious whatever you undertake
to do, do it with twill, use economy
and you are sure to succeed.
We had the largest turnout at a
Railroad meeting last Saturday

country. If the citizens will give
the needed help in the way OF
money, then this beautiful valley

A Clear Case For A Veto.

"Anything to spend tho surplus"
appears to be the motto of the Sen
ste, as "Anything to catch votes" is
the motto of the rival politicians in
in the House.
The Senate has passed, without
a roll-call, the drag-net Pension bill
that had previously gone through
the House. 1t virtually creates a
pauper annex to the Pension Bu-
reau. By offering gratuities to
"disabled" eH-soldieIs, without re-
gard to any connection between
their service in the army and their
present disability, the bill puts a
premium apon mendicancy and
presents q standing temptation to
shift!essness.
The sponsors of this bill claimed
it would not call for more than $6,-
100000 year. 1t is likely to call
for three times that sum. The pro-
moters of the arrears-Of-pensiOns
scheme said it would not cost $780,
100000. 1t has cost, or will cost,
nearer $2O0,000,000. The two bills
just passed by the House, one of
which has gone through the Senate,
will increase the pension list for
the next few years to at least $780,
100000. This is $l5.O00,0OO more
than the cost of the British army,
And yet we talk of the enormous
expense of the standing armies of
the Old World as grinding their
people to the dust!
This startling increase is, as we
have heretofore shown, unnatural
and forced. The normal maximum
of the pension list was reached in
1878, eight years after the close of
the war. The number of pensioners
was then 23S,000 and the disburse-
ments were about $30,O00,OOO. The
number steadily decreased for five
years, under natural laws, until in
1878 it was 223,000, and the cost was
S26,000,000. Then began the COM
bination between claim agents, who
have grown rich at their trade, and
politicians who cater to the soldiers
vote, under which the further we
go tn the war the larger grows the
list Of pensioners. And now, after
the lapse of twenty-one years, the
number is swollen to 365,000-al-
most as large as the standing army
of Great Britain-and the cost is
$76,0OO,O00.

and then give place to a better man-if be
has been created lately.
Thkt great and honored author, Matthew
Arnold, has been finding fault with Gen.
Grants English. That would be fair
enough, maybe, il the examples Of imper-
feet English averaged more instances to
the page in Gen. Grants book than they do
in Mr.. Arnold's criticism upon the book.
but they don't Laughter and applause.l
1t would be fair enough, maybe, II such in
stances were commoner in Gen. Grants
book than they are in the works Of the av-
erage standard authors, but they aren't In
truth. General Grants derelictions In the
matter Of grammar and construction are
not more frequent than are such derelic-
tions in the works Of majority OF the pro-
fessional authors Of our time and of all
previous times-authors As exclusively and
painstakingsly trained to the literary trade
as was General Grant to the lade Of war"
Applause.
There is that about the sun which makes
us forget his spots, and when we think of
General Grant our pulses quicken and his
grammar vAnishes. We only remember
that this is the simple soldier who, all un-
taught of the s:lken phrase-makers, linked
words together with an art surprising the
art Of the schools and put into them
something which will still bring to Ameri.
can ears as long as America shAlll last, the
roll Of his vanished drums and the tread of
his marching hosts. Tremendous ap-

The American boodlcrs now sojourn-

their funds and are beginning to open
saloons in order to recruit their wasted
resources. 1t illustrates the uncertain

giant leisure, who have been SO active
in supporting saloons, are thus reduced
TO the necessity of conducting them in
order to earn livelihood. However,
the boodlcrs have learned to tell good
liquor from bad.
